You may notice the VPN icon of the Android device, which Android displays when VPN connections are active. The privacy feature works in the background from that moment on. The main difference between a "real" VPN app that runs on the device and DuckDuckGo's App Tracking is that the latter is active locally only.

Users need to enable it in the settings of the app and allow it to be used as a virtual private network on the device this is necessary for it to block trackers locally on the device. The DuckDuckGo application needs to be installed on the Android device for the feature to work. Did it block trackers on the device? Did I notice any issues while using it, e.g. The article that you are reading describes my experience with the feature and app. I received my acceptance some time ago and have been using the feature since then on a Google Pixel 3a device (which I will replace next year, as Google will end support for it then). The feature was made available to some users only, and users had to enter a queue to get access to it this seems to be the case still at the time of writing.
